Jasper and the Magpie: Enjoying special interests together

Jasper and the Magpie captures the uniqueness of those on the autism spectrum and shows how valuing a child’s individuality, and working within his interests, can bring a richness to the whole family. I highly recommend this book to any child with a special interest, or anyone whose ‘special interest’ is wanting the best for their child.

Dan Mayfield wrote a beautiful story about turning a child’s special interest into shared engagement. How to redefine a quirky interest into a strength to celebrate! A wonderful story for both parents and children to read together. Author: Bill Nason, M.S., mental health professional, author and blogger of the Austism Discussion Page (Facebook)
